Christmas Egg Nog Recipe

So the huge issue that we home-cooks typically have with homemade egg nog is that it uses raw eggs. I’m curious to know if all of the alcohol included in this recipe basically nullifies any possibility of food poisoning…Maybe that’s not how it works, but I’d like to think so because this looks delicious!
